Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia
I forgot my office keys today, so I worked for a few hours from a nearby shop and had a cookie there. We have a traditional recipe for cookies called Cat’s Tongue – essentially flower, sugar, butter, and vanilla, prepared in a shape that reminds a tongue. To celebrate that moment, here’s a photo of one of the local cats, showing the real deal.
A cat family near St. Anna hospital. I think the big orange cat is the mom, which is an unusual sight. Two-color orange cats are usually male.
My daily walk was short. I captured only a few photos.
This is a palindrome sculpture in Sofia Tech Park, where I briefly visited OpenFest. I somehow missed the meaning of the sculpture the last few times I walked past it. I think it’s pretty cool, although I wish it was painted and not with this rusty color. I suspect the sculptures in the park have a shared meaning, like things are not what they look. There are other elements nearby with a clear dual meaning.
For example, this is either a violoncello, or a piece of metal that fell off, depending on the point of view. I wasn’t sure which one so went back and checked the welds – clearly welded this way, very solid sheet of steel, not broken and dented.
And and out-of-focus animal, probably a squirrel.
I took a look at the sky this morning, and it was not lead gray.
This motivated me to do a bit more steps outside. The gallery shows a couple of landmarks from the city, complimented by Blue and Yellow.
Walking around in Sofia today, I noticed that our sidewalks are, in fact, maybe not as perfect as I remembered them while abroad.
This is a sidewalk from Sofia:
And one from a reference city, which is not Sofia:
Which one would you prefer?
